I'm old enough to remember the first 'Super Bowl' played in 1967 when the Green Bay Packers of the NFL beat the Kansas City Chiefs of the AFL. The photo is courtesy of Life magazine. The Chiefs' quarterback is having a smoke at halftime. We would never see a major quarterback have a smoke today. Even President Obama hides his smoking habit. Tickets to Super Bowl 1 cost $12, and there was no halftime pageantry.
We never thought the AFL teams could beat the NFL teams (until the Jets beat the Baltimore Colts two years later in Super Bowl III).
Sunday we watched Super Bowl 47 when Baltimore, now the Ravens and not the Colts, beat the San Francisco 49ers. We had the benefit of a DVR so we could bleep the suggestive advertising, halftime show and 40 minutes of game delaying power failure. Tickets to Super Bowl 47 were $2,500 on average.
